TUF 12 – GSP vs Kos – Episode 2 Recap – Teams Picked

Welcome to Episode 2 of Perfect Good Guy vs Perfect Bad Boy. The TUF coaches will pick their teams tonight!

Jeffrey Lentz starts off smoking and doing a couple shots, while Bruce Leroy tells tales of killing alligators and getting his ass whupped by a deer to open the show.

Kos and GSP are contemplating their picks. GSP creates a fake list with Marc Stevens on top with the intention of Kos seeing it and wasting his pick on a guy GSP does not want.
